If the Democrats had been in power in 1929 the Pubs get to govern all though the 30s.

Maybe in reality, but in this electorate I would not be so sure.

If the GOP governed through the 30's would they become more economically interventionist like the democrats did? They might have become the centre-left party instead of the democrats if that happened.

I'll take a bridge to the moderately illiberal Vatican over the total statist.

Smith (likes minority rights and religious freedom)

But I'd vote for neither by any stretch after 1928...and Hoover would've been ideal in 1920

Ugh. Accidentally voted for Hoover (did the same with La Follette in '24). I don't suppose there's any way to remedy the situation...

I am guessing you wanted to vote for your fellow Papist? (I'll count your vote accordingly.)

Hoover/Curtis, I would vote for Smith any other time after 1928.

Maybe not.  If Smith had been in the White House, I'm doubtful Smoot-Hawley would have been enacted, so the Great Depression wouldn't have been quite as severe, so maybe the Dems could have regained either the White House in 1936 or Congress in 1938 after losing them in 1932.
